Assalamualaikum Sheikh,

very well said, can’t be said better than that.
“The American Muslims who decided to vote have made a fool out of themselves and the whole world knows it.”
Jazakallah for the post. May ALLAH reward you and bless you, Ameen.

This just reminder of what you had said in your lecture “There can be no establishment until the two camps are clear the camp of Kufr and the Camp of Iman. Allah is showing us who is who and Anwar now yesterday the results have been handed out. Many of us have been struggling with are families begging them not to vote but to no avail they chose these disbelievers over their own sons and daughters and it breaks my heart. That i come from a all muslim family and i could not convince 1 member not to vote,save my wife. It I could have cared less who one but I just didnt want my family to be part of the problem instead of the solutions May Allah forgive them and bring them back to the truth. As salaamu Alaykum

Now you have voted for “lesser evil” start counting the dead bodies of your pakistani brothers/sisters and kids you will see them in you account one day.
I pray to ALLAH that he guide you people.

Salaam Alaikum Brother,

You said, “For those who did send me evidence for the position on voting I did respond to some of them and there remains the issue of the Muslims in Abyssinia and Yusuf (as). The response to this is very straightforward: Both the king of Abyssinia and the King of Egypt were not at war with the believers and were both very supportive of the Muslims.”

I would like us to reflect on this a bit.

I don’t think it’s a correct assumption to think there’s a war on ALL Muslims, if this is the case, then we would all be under an attack (as is common in the sense of a war).

Second, I think there are some factions among the Muslims who have adopted a very extreme “viewpoint/version” of Islam. We are told by Allaah and His Prophet (saw) to avoid extremisms.

I am under the impression that there’s a fight against radicalism, extremism, found in factions here and there, of people who call themselves Muslims.

In the Qur’aan, God says, in Surah Al-Hujurat (49):9 If two parties among the Believers fall into a quarrel, make ye peace between them: but if one of them transgresses beyond bounds against the other then fight ye (all) against the one that transgresses until it complies with the command of Allah; but if it complies then make peace between them with justice and be fair: for Allah loves those who are fair (and just).

From this perspective, one has to wonder if God permits the BELIEVERS to fight against BELIEVERS who have transgressed, but these “Believers” who were to fight the transgressers isn’t really fighting, maybe these “disbelievers” are now fighting those transgressors.

God knows best.

Indeed Allah subhanehu we te’ala knows what is about to come

As for promisses Obama made, the signature of every single muslim who voted for him (that would be the case if Mccain won) is about to be on every bullet, every rocket, every drop of muslim tear and blood

And all in the name of the united states of Dajjal

sad very, very sad

May Allah preserve all the Sheikhs on the Right Path

Jazzak Allah khair

Es Selamu alejkum we rahmetullahi we berekatuhu

Assalamu Alaikum,
May Allah reward you for all your efforts, and increase us all in taqwa. I am very glad that someone is standing firmly on the truth, in times when people who didn’t bother taking part in the voting process are seen as weird and backward. It is sad to see so called Muslim scholars and activists urging people to partake in the voting process. How do you think, we as Muslim in the west go about changing our current situation knowing that it is sometime worst in Muslim countries (beside hearing the Adhan 5 times daily). Thank you for your time, and may Allah reward you for your steadfastness.

Allahu Akbar! A proof that the majority will be on the side of Dajjaliyat (Pseudo-truth) ie. that which objectively appears to be true is in fact falsehood.

We are not living in the times of Sahaaba and Tabaeen where Majority muslims were on the right path, biut just the opposite is true these days, Wake up Ummah before its too late.If you feel you are with the majority you are on the wrong path by default these times.

Irrespective of who the candidate is even if its Sh. Anwar Al Awlaki running for President/ King/ Khulafah of any country including USA the Muslims cannot make him the president/king/khulafah on the Democratic SYSTEM except the System of Allah (SWT).

How many of you know that the Church of Jahova’s Witness DOES NOT participate in US election (GO to Wikepedia and read for yourself why. They believe in Jehovas Law not the US constitution…..I dodn’t even want to go into why they DO NOT participate in Interfaith or celebrate Birthdays, Haloween, Christmas, New year etc.

So what have the “Americanized MUSLIM” learned from these non-muslims who stand on their believes and fought in 1920s to uphold their believes in the US Supream Court and won and continue to practice their believes till today. havent you asked your colleages/employees that work with you? and yes they are around the same nubmer in US as are American muslims approx 7-10 Million.

The funny thing from these elections in we have O(s)BAMA - BI(n) (La)DEN in White House.

جزاكم الله خيرا و جزيلا
I am glad you have taken a firm stance on this issue and exposed this falsehood and ignorance that people have adopted.

My question is about the Ikhwaan specifically. The question is, what should they do to bring about change? Their current method is to hope for a change after a few generations, which is far-fetched because every change that happened in Islaam happened in one generation. The only solution I can see is if Muslims rise and stop obeying their tyrants, whereby creating an economic, political, and social revolution — and then eventually fight those that force themselves upon us.

Dear Shaikh,

Jazakallahu khairun for your advice. I’m really confused about living in US after reading your blogs. I feel like a big hypocrite living in US, reaping the benifits, a good life, etc. but can’t be part of the system. Perhaps I should move and live somewhere else. Please guide me to a place in muslim lands where I can practice my deen and live under the rule of Shariah.

very confused.

Most secular goverments, even those not directly at war with muslims have iether enacted anti terror laws engaged in disguised extraditions or enforced dissapearences of muslims legalised abhortion and homosexulaity and so on.None of them would tolerate shariah law and none of them would give muslims islamic courts.Most of them support Isreal against palestine one way or the other iether through economic trade, the facilitaion of the flow of funds and so on.Is there any non muslim country that satisfies the criteria of the verse 60:8? Who gave anyone authority to rule otherwise than in accoradance with the law of Alah?Allah knows best

Asalaamualaikum Ya Imaam Anwar

Jazaakallah for this post, Allahu Akbar your words echo my thoughts on this matter. There are many muslims even in south africa here supporting this Obama. I even had a fellow muslim tell me democracy isn’t unislamic. Astagfirllah, the west has really pulled the wool over our eyes. I make shukr to Allah for granting you this knowledge and passing it on. Alhamdulillah we need more scholars Ya Imaam. May Allah guide us all and may he open our eyes and protect us from kufr.

Wasalaamualaikum

May Allah forgive and guide all our brothers and sisters who voted.. and may Allah guide us all ameen

JazakAllah Khair Imam Anwar..

Alhumdulilaah….first of all, may Allah presrve you…and keep us steadfast on the Haqq…

There’s so many questions I want to ask in regards of this topic, but i’m afraid your answers will put you in my harm then good…inshallah your comments are very beneficial…

Where to go- try Hijra.net

NO country in the world not implementing Shariah is a lame excuse ( Shows weakness of Eemaan) How about the faheeshaat (The evil) you see every day in US, women almost naked, alcohol, drugs, TV etc. Remeber the women in US used to cover themselves and wear full sleaves and gloves and did not work with men just until 100 years ago, WHY?

Do you REALY in your HEART think that Rasoolillah or any rightly guided Khulafa would have been living in the West if there were present? and What makes you think Imaa Mehdi will come back or VISIT to Washington when he appears back in this world? I don’t think he will debate with the then Pope in Rome in Iterfaith Dialouge on the instructions of Saudi King.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/06/world/asia/06afghan.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

My question to those who voted is: What do you think the dajjal (anti-christ) will look like? Do you think that he will be unattractive or persuading you with things that you do not like. I pray the believers will recognize the empty marketing schemes of the shaitan and his companions. I pray that we are not so brainwashed that if we are amongst those to see Isa (On him be blessings) we call him a terrorist or fundamentalist. Ameen

By Dear Brothers/Sisters in Islam;

As Salaamu Aleykum Wa-Rehmatullah:

Let me ask you a question, Has any one of you heard/seen that a person becomes a Doctor (an expert to find what is Abnormal with your body) WITHOUT first learning what the NORMAL body is. this is the first thing he/she is taught in medical school what Normal is before going into what Abnormal is.

The same applies to Islam, IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT MOST OF OUR IMAAMS IN US DO NOT TEACH THE COMMON MUSLIMS THE BASICS OF AQEEDA, TAWHEED, EEMAN etc. the same NECESSARY TOOLS THAT ONE NEEDS BEFORE JUMPING INTO being an islamic Doctor and judging right from wrong or normal from Abnormal.

GO BACK TO BASICS then also learn the Seerah of Prophets, Sahaaba and the great Scholars of islam and then PUT YOURSELF IN COMPARISON TO THESE Great people and hopefully you will feal SHAMEFUL.

Alahu Akbar!!! You have spoken the haqq. Allah says, Do men believe that they will be left alone on saying “we believe” and they will not be tested. May Allah keep us steadfast on the haqq and not fear the blames of the blamers

May Allah preserve you ya sheikh we have benefited from you and your reward is with Allah
Inshaallah!!

May Allah protect you & reward Yaa Shaykh!!!

I ask Allah to open up the eyes of the Muslims & to give victory to the courageous Mujahideen & to keep the Islamic State firm & protect it’s leader & ministers. And peace & blessings of Allah be upon RasoolAllah , his family & companions.

Salamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

BarakAllahu feek, shaykh.

I’m glad for this post, as well. Alhumdulilah.

I was wondering if you could write something on homo’s and how Allah punished Lut (as)’s people because so many people STILL support, defend, and befriend ….lly deviated people. They don’t ever think that Allah could send His wrath and we should be getting out of this place.

I find this very ironic because they are not ok with halal things like polygyny and start saying that oh it’s illegal, so it’s “haram” in a kafir land. Isn’t that making ta7reem too?

JazakAllah khair kateer. May Allah continue to raise your ranks in this dunya and in the akhira, protect you and your family, and continue to benefit this ummah through your ilm and akhlaaq, ameen.

as-salamu alaykum,
Couple of points on the issue of Yusuf aliyhisalam and Muslims in Abyssinia.
1. While I am convinced that the Sharee’ah of previous nations (shar’u man Qablana) is not legislation for us as the Qur’an abrogates all other laws, those who accepted the rules for previous nations put a condition. The condition is that the previous laws do not contradict with an Islamic law. Voting a non-Muslim to power under a Kufr system is forbidden by many evidences ranging from wala’a and Bara’, having a non-Muslim dominate a Muslim, accepting the rule of Kufr, and not following the Sunnah of the prophet in Mecca who refused to be part of that system, just to mention a few. Not to mention the implication of such participation in terms of letting go of the fard of having the Muslim Ummah be the source of guidance and leadership to the humanity.
2. With regard to the Muslims in Abyssinia, Muslims did not participate in any elections or choosing who to rule them. All that is reported is that some made Du’a’ that Najashi remained in power. Assuming the authenticity of the reports, it is not clear really who that najashi was as there are reports that Najashi was a Muslim and others say he was not. It seems that Najashi was a position rather than a name. When there is such doubt, it can not be used as evidence, let alone stand against all other evidences.
In my humble view, its not a matter of Daleel. It is a matter of finding what is easy an appealing to the defeated mentality Muslims have. May Allah help you and us see the Haqq and remain on it. And May Allah help this Ummah find its identity again as the best of nations out to mankind

As-Salamu Alaikum,

I was born in the US and live in the US and believe that voting does not benefit the Muslims for the simple fact that neither candidate even if he wanted to could not help Muslims because other people control the US. My thing revolves around Yusuf(AS) and him being in a high position under a Kafir leader and Kafir system. Is there any kind of similarity with this and being in a government position in a Kafir state or voting? Sheikh Salam Al-Amry mentions this in one of his lectures when he discusses voting in kafir systems. Also brother Anwar I have love your lectures and love you for what you are doing for the cause of Islam but is it justified to leave a country to Kufr? If all the Muslims would leave the US or any other Kafir country they would leave behind Kufr. I have heard that scholars in the past have said this is not allowed. Also in Yemen under a Muslim country you were unlawfully imprisoned, is this what Muslims should go back to? If we are given a safe haven to practice our deen in the US and maybe bring the majority of the people to the US to Islam, isn’t this better? People are converting to Islam daily through the will of Allah but if there were no Muslims in the US, would this happen? Will we not be questioned on the Day of Judgement about this? IF there was a true Khalifa I wouldn’t even think twice about living in the US but there isn’t. Didn’t the Prophet(saaws) say there is not more hijra after the one the Medina?

Jazaku Allahu Khryan

Assalamu alaikum, may Allah save you Imam Awlaki and keep you on the Straight Path!
.
However the sad situation is at the moment, we all know that the victory will start from the lands of the Khurasan. And perhaps (InshAllah) the victory is near?!
.
As Obama repeatedly promised to deploy more troops to Afghanistan and attack Pakistan, I think it’s the end of the US and the beginning of the victory for the Muslim Ummah. Inshallah the prophecy of our beloved prophet (peace be upon him) is near.
.
Allah knows best.

Wassalam.

” then there will be a Khilafah on the way of the Prophethood ”

In Defense of our beloved teacher and great scholar of Islam the Shaykh Anwar al Awlaki (may ALLAH protect him) the blaster of the shirk of Democracy (Hypocrisy)

Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh beloved Shaykh Anwar al Awlaki

Like many other countless Muslims I immensely benefited from your lectures and online articles at this blog. This is my first post at your blog, was reluctantly force to write this after I saw in horror how some people started to pass some very negative comments about you may ALLAH guide them. I was really ashamed to read these comments. A Muslim should not use this type of language towards any other fellow Muslim let alone a Muslim Shaykh.

Shaykh Anwar al Awlaki may ALLAH increase your ranks in Jannah and bless you and your family with the highest place in Jannah. We have nothing but love and respect for you due to your immense work for this deen. We pray to ALLAH that HE keep you and your family firm and protected. Ummah greatly needs the shaykhs like you to waken us up from our deep slumber.

Dear brothers and sisters I like to inform you about an interesting and eye opening incident that involved a Muslim brother who thought that voting may benefit Muslims.

Before the election on the insistence of one brother we went to talk to the representative of one of the kaffer candidate belong to the “lesser of two evil camp”. We decided that we would discuss the issue of worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Palestine with him. Just to satisfy this brother I agreed not to touch on the so-called sensitive issues i.e. occupation, brutal killing of Muslims by sick Jewish criminals etc. I agreed to lower this bar of expectations just to prove this Muslim brother that kuffar have no tolerance or understanding of any Muslim issues.

During our 15-minues meeting with the representative of the so-called “lesser of two evil camps”, the brother brought up the issue very politely, oh boy you have to see the sudden change in the facial expression of this representative. He told the brother that it is the responsibility of the Palestinian to purge terrorists from their rank. He used the word terrorists for Muslims more than 7 times. At this point I ask him about the Jewish terrorist activities in Palestine, right away he cut me off in the middle of my sentence and said, “we are not anti-Semite”. Not once he use any negative word for Jewish terrorists. When I press him on this issue he said sheepishly that Israeli government should not use excessive force.

Thanks to ALLAH this meeting opened the eyes of this Muslim brother. He was totally disillusion from the filthy shirk of democracy. Shaykh clearly stated in the first post that it is not right to get involve in the shirk of democracy. However sadly some people are so eager to defend this shirk that they started to attack our beloved Shaykh.

May ALLAH guide us all and unite the Ummah on the Tawheed.

To Feroz- If you improve your knowledge on Nationalism in islam vs Khilafah in Islam you will understand what you are askiing.

Knowledge is OBLIGATORY on every Muslim as mentioned in Quran. No one is going to spoon-feed anyone. Allah SWT is going to ask us what physical efforts one did to OBTAIN THIS ISLAMIC KNOWLEDGE hopefully we will be able to SELL our pitch to Him on the Day of Judgement.

Asalamualikum,

Whoever is moderator of this blog, please block the non-sense. It hurts us to see someone even talking to Sheikh Anwar in arrogant tone. Sheikh Anwar is down to earth doesn’t mean his students will remain silent.Please and please block the non-sense comments coz it really hurts us..
Jazakallah

You are very kind-hearted brother in offering your insight and knowledge even though some of our brothers and sisters deal in an rude way when hearing it. It is clear you love all Muslims or you would not be doing this. May Allah bless you and your family. For the ones who do not understand you now, I pray that in time by the grace of Allah they will understand you in the future.

Jazak Allah khairn brother Anwar

BaarakAllahu feek ya Sheikh.

Dino - I don’t think the Sheikh is saying you should leave the US and immigrate to another country…you’re right, where would you move to?? ‘Our leaders’ are just as corrupt.

Ya Sheikh,
I have a questions.

1. Voting - if a situation of a society deteriorates to such an extent, that if the Muslims voted for ‘the lesser of two evils’ or for a particular political party that would help them…would this be acceptable? Imam Anwar stresses that the American Muslims that voted won’t gain anything …that they gave their vote for free. My question is, what if their vote DID make a difference? [Hypothetical situation].

2. You mentioned:

QUOTE//
Brothers and sisters you can vote, you can run around supporting the campaigns, you can stay silent about the aspects of your religion that do not appeal to your fellow citizens, you can speak out against your Muslim brothers and sisters who support the Muslim causes around the world, you can try your best to fit in and be accepted and the end result will be that you will always be seen as the enemy and you will never be accepted unless you do one thing: give up your religion.
/QUOTE

Would you include accepting/joining campaigns such as the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign? Does Islaam say anthing about this?

Have you read the history, did not the non-muslims felt much safer living under the Khulafah than their own church oppressions. So many Jews still live in Iran, Middle east etc. Why is that?

Have you compared the crime rate statistics of a democratic country vs a Shariah ruled country?

Are there more rapes, gays, homicides, drugs under democratic civilized nations compared to Islamic countries?

Subhanallah your posts have been an eye opener for me personally. I used to be one of the exhilarated Muslims who was involved in politics.

As I have began to gain more knowledge I started to have a different view. Your posts have incredibly been beneficial. May Allah reward you for sharing this with us. May Allah help us gain more knowledge and give us a better understanding. Ameen

Hey look who Obama chooses for his Chief of presidential cabinet… Rahm Emmanuel… whose father was involved in the zionist terrorist organization to create Israel against the British… Thanks to all the musilmeen who decided to vote for Obama! Thanks A LOT JERKS!!! Check here to see the profile of the new chief of the presidential candidate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel

Jazakallah khair Sheikh, may Allah preserve you. We’re proud of your unflinching stance against this misguidance. Let the munafiqeen wither in their hate.

May Allah keep the shiekh and all the Muslims who are against voting on the Haqq. As somebody stated above the camps of Allah and that of shayaan has been made clear. Those people who voted because they thought about their stomachs more than the blood of the Muslim brothers and sisters, what will you do with yourselves when dajaal comes? Are you that week? And suhanAllah you wasn’t even forced to vote! I seek refuge in Allah from being among the Jahileen.
And to all those who said they have listened to the sheikhs talks and still went ahead and voted…FEAR ALLAH…what on earth did you learn? WAKE UP and think past your selfish desire!
P.S Sheikh I think you should do weekly talks on pal talk. Please, you’ve had so many request for it, please please do it as everyone can see the state of the imams and the Muslims in the west! If not every week then every two weeks please.
May Allah protect us all from Kufur and Shirk, whether major or minor. Ameen.

Salam Alaikum,

Omar if someone is killing your family, but they are probably not going to kill you do you just stand by and watch?

I have no Muslim family members so my brothers and sisters in Islam are my closest family (inshallah this will change). I do not care how many kafr say it is proper to kill certain Muslims or Muslims in general, it is your duty to stop this kafr by the means you have been given. Do not be one of those who turn their backs. Do what you can. Fight the jihad. Support the jihad. Spread the jihad.

Why do you think the US government keeps taking advantage of us? We are more willing to watch kafr armies murder our brothers, sisters, and children in the names of capitalism and democracy than we are to even utter a word of violence. We are so infatuated the phrase “Islam means Peace,” that we forget the main meaning and that is that we SUBMIT to Allah(SWT).

What does this mean? It is la ilaha ill Allah and Muhammadur rasul Allah. When Allah(SWT) tells us we are to distrust a certain people, and to defend ourselves from a certain people, and to fight a certain people we SUBMIT to the command of Allah(SWT). The second part is that we follow the message and the actions of Muhammad(SAAWS). Did Muhammad(SAAWS) let the Quraish do as they pleased? No. Did Muhammad(SAAWS) just say, “Islam means Peace,” when the kafr armies were marching on Madina? No. Muhammad(SAAWS) defended his brothers and risked his own life for them.

What of us? What about those of us who do not do our part? Those of us who did not do their part during the time of Muhammad(SAAWS) fought on the side of the Quraish when the time came to choose.

Many of us have become so enamored with the peaceful side of Islam that they seem as though they would not even fight the Dajaal. What if the Mahdi comes while we are chanting, “peace peace peace.” Will we be afraid to join?

The blood of a Muslim is worth more to me than an entire army of kafr. Why are we afraid of jihad? At least wage it with your tongue if nothing else.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatulahi wa barakatuhu.

Dear Imam,

Please know that you have made such an impact on the Ummah by speaking the Truth at all costs may Allah (SWT) protect you and other Olamas on the as sirat ul mustaqeem (Ameen).

And you are the most evolved peoples of mankind enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah (SWT) (Quran 3:110).

There is only one medium through which a permanent and lasting change that is Divinely-inspired can be attained and that is through Islam and the implementation of the Shariah in keeping with how it was applied during the tenure of our beloved Prophet (PBUH), Alhamdulillah.

Let us all offer Dua Qunoot for the Muslims for this world and for all the oppressed peoples of this world and recognise that we are only free in every sense of the word when we readily submit our will to pleasing Allah (SWT).

The Qu’ran is our constitution and the Prophet (pbuh) our abiding and perfect example, Alhamdulillah.

With Duas.

None has the RIGHT to be worshipped except Allah

I Love you for the sake of Allah.

May Allah protect you and your family and increase you in beneficial knowledge.

May Allah azza-wa-jal give you more Patience to deal with the ignorant Muslims and non-muslims.

Salam

I love you Imam Anwar I love you for the sake of Allah swt alone, i cry when i read your posts regards to the voting alhamdulillah i did not vote.

for those ignorant Muslims: if you think that their foreign policy change or any soft corner for Muslims because of some John Doe become president then you are walking death, they have planned for 50 years in advance. fyi

i forgot to mentioned that:

for those who attack Shaykh Anwar, i said to them, fear Allah, i bet you that you did not even spend one day studying about Islam or Shariah and yet you people have guts to come and attack the Nobel Shaykh? shame on you.

Jazakum’Allah khayran, loved brother in Islam and Barak’Allah feekum. It is my plea to Allah that every Muslim, with the slightest capacity of critical thought, will gain the proper insight upon reading this reaction of yours. How can we, Muslims in the West, participate and rejoice in light of such an event. What happened to our “la ilaha ill Allah” and our strife to fulfill the conditions therein? Do Muslims in the West even understand what that means anymore?

Perhaps, I’m being to critical. I desist. And brother, Anwar, I hope you don’t mind that I’ve re-posted this very blog of yours on my blog site to possibly reach to more readers. In’sha’Allah.

as salaamu alaikum wa rahmatallah,

Once again I thank imam anwar and all others who stand up for the truth. something interesting I would like to share is that the CHIEF OF STAFF chosen for Obama’s white house is a zionist jew (rahm emanuel) who volunteered for the israeli army in the first gulf war, and supported bush jr. on the war in irag. It was funny here in the US to see people yesterday celebrating and crying after he was elected. Brothers and sisters, put your faith in allah and take it out of the people. To those people who picked the “lesser of two evils”, even if you added up all the muslim votes in the US, it wouldnt have made any difference in his victory. Now, as the Imam said, let’s wait and see in the next four years what happens. Maybe the situation IN the US will improve, but see how they deal with our muslim brothers and sisters in the world. AMERICAN GOVERNMENT- SAME OPPRESSION, JUST A DIFFERENT OPPRESSOR.

Bismillah.

Salam Alaykum Wr Wb,

First of all jzk may Allah(swt) reward you for all good work you have done for the Muslim nation. We have benefited immensely from your lectures on seera.

As for elections, we have been taught if you are presented with 2 evils you should chose lesser one, hence our view on election is choosing the lesser one.

We have been taught that the only Jihad which is for Allah(swt) is the one where we fight to bring people to Islam, so may Allah(swt) guide President Obama and all non-Muslims to Islam through us.

Allahuma Ameen!

AAWRWB,

That was very well put, AlhamduLILLAH. A group of us Muslim youth are still having this debate in our discussion forum. There are a few very knowledgeable people amongst us and give very good counter arguments. About the burden of proof, they say that according to the Qur’an all is halal until proven haraam so they said the burden of proof is on us and they have rejected all the proof and are still giving very good counter arguments. Can you please join our discussion forum and see the replies your self? JazakAllah Khair.

Assalamu Alaykum Shaykh

JazakAllahu Khayr, well said!
I was looking forward to your afterthoughts to the election.

Either way, the Muslims who voted are telling those of us who didn’t “You can’t complain now since you didn’t vote,” but InShaAllah once they see the reality of what they voted for, we will be telling THEM that!

Now is the time to make du’a for our brothers and sisters around the world guys, for we know that the next four years will not be any gentler towards us.

[...] is what he had to say on his blog: One of the characteristics of a humiliated and oppressed community is their submission to their [...]

Appointing the chief of staff is a proof that the naive people were looking for…

As-salamaulikum.

Just to back Imam Anwar.

The term “Ibadah” in Arabic means total obedience. One of Allah’s (swt) attributes is “Ultimate Lawgiver”.

Now if you combine both you can see that implementation of secular legal system not based on divine law (Shariah) is an act of disbelief in the divine law and belief in the correctness of such systems, such a belief constitutes a form worshiping other than Allah (shirk). Allah (swt) says in the Quran:

“…Those who do not rule by what Allah has revelaed are disbelievers” (TMQ 5:44)

Now Shirk is the worst sin in the sight of Allah. He (swt) says:

“Surely Allah will not forgive the association of partners (shirk) with Him, but He forgives (sins) less than that of whomever He wishes…” (TMQ 4:48)

Just like the Imam has continuously reiterated… put your trust in Allah (swt). He alone can take care of yours needs.

I pray that Allah grants Tawfeeq to all the misquided brothers and sisters.

JazakAllah Khair

Jazakallah brother for your post before I read your post I was confused Alhamdoilah your post helped me make my decision, I didn’t vote. Becauase I have very little knowledge I was still confuse after not voting I felt guilty but when I read your post and othere post on your blog it made me feel better Inshallah I hope we made the right choice. May Allah protect all of us from his wrath and have mercy on all of us and forgive those who voted and give them hidayah. Aameen

I don’t know how some of you muslims still desire to vote in america when abundant arguments and proofs have been brought forth against it. You are so stubborn to listen and take heed! How can you take part in a process that enables the notion of man-made governance over Islam. How can you enable this process knowing its agenda to dominate Islam. What do you “democratic” muslims consider “Islam?” Is it limited to the four corners of your homes or masajid? Is it not an idealogy that spans all spectrums of life (social, political, spritiual, etc). More over, think about “democracy” and its attempts to fill the void an Islamic khilafah once brought to the world, where it spanned, enlightened and revolutionized the world, “democracy” has created its own influence and bankrupted half the world, spreading fawaish accross continents. “Democracy” is proof that men are insufficient to bring harmony to this earth by their own accord, and they need Al-furqan that Allah (swt) has put forth (the Quran and Sunnah). For a good perspective, I highly suggest the book “Islam and the World: The Rise and Decline of Muslims and its Effect on Mankind” by Sayyed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi, muslims and non-muslims alike.

What do you “democratic” muslims consider the lesser evil when ample signs of Obama’s zionist agenda have been made clear. Why must you cling to hope in a society that is attempting to extinguish the light of Allah. Make hijra feesabilillah! Would you sell your life in the hereafter for small gains here? If you are so insisting upon remaining here then I suggest you take up dawah as RasoolAllah(saw) took up dawah, in Makkah - and the sign of his success was that he was forced to leave, that he became unbearable for the kuffar. But no, muslims must desperately assimilate so they may secure their comfortable lives. Pathetic..

Hope you had fun “exercising your right” voting in the next “president”, along with the millions of kuffar, who will undoubtably continue the crusade against Islam, whose victims routinely turn out to be our women and children.

Wa Aleykum As Salaam WR WB,

Choosing lesser evil applies if you have no other choice,meaning the land you are living in MANDATES you to vote other-wise there will be harm to you.

Now you are right in the sence you should choose the less evil or no evil that is- Sabr/Patience- Refraining from participating in an evil system which clearly is in opposition to one of the names of Allah “Ultimate Lawgiver” that clearly is against the Tawheed in the names of Allah (SWT) which culminates to a Shirk. (shirk is opposite of tawheed)

I urge my Muslim Brothers and Sisters to sincerely repent to Allah (T) for getting themselves in to this shirk by following their desires with all good intentions.Shirk is something that Allah (T) will not forgive on the Day of Judgement.

Also,Allah SWT says in Surah Al Qasas,Aayah 56. Verily! You (O Muhammad (SAS) Guide not whom You like, but Allâh guides whom He wills. and He knows best those who are the guided.

Works are underway by orientalist in Germany and Harvard University and you will witness in the next 4 years several attacks on questioning the authenticity on compilation of Othmanic Quran,be careful,and bite on to the Islamic knowledge of Quran and Sunnah NOW before its too late.

Wa Salaam.

Allahu akbar! Jazak Allahu Khair for the post ya sheikh! straight forward and crystal clear! May Allah preserve you and keep us on his true path! Jazak Allah khair once again

wa ‘alaikum as salaam wa rahmatullaah

Quote: “Omar if someone is killing your family, but they are probably not going to kill you do you just stand by and watch?”

Not sure what that has to do with my earlier comments, however, since this situation hasn’t happened, I’ll refrain from answering.

Quote: “We are so infatuated the phrase “Islam means Peace,” that we forget the main meaning and that is that we SUBMIT to Allah(SWT).”

Islam doesn’t mean peace, nor does Jihad mean war. I think we should at least be aware of these terms as people use it against us in a negative way at times.

I would still like to hear from anyone, what’s the practical solution to the crisis of the Muslims?

Are Muslims living in the USA simply to stand by as spectators or should they exhaust all efforts (intellectual, spiritual, physical, etc.) to change the society they live in. The government is part of that society, unless I’m mistaken.

It would be great if the countries that the majority of Muslims reside actually implemented the Shari’ah, however, this is not the case.

At any rate, we all want Shariah. Fine. I’m all for that. Now, how do we go about implementing this Shariah? That’s the question.

Some propose we fight. This is an interesting area because these same folks will compare the Battle of Badr in terms of numbers. Unfortunately, today, all the Muslims are fighting things which they cannot even see or hear (stealth bombers for example). So, in this particular aspect, fighting makes little or no sense, at least to me.

What other options are there?

assalaamu alaikum 3la manittab3 al huda,

When they build internment camps for us, maadhAllah, which has already been in the works for so many years, if you do your homework, you people will realize what a sin you committed by voting in and of itself.

All those mocking the concept of hijra and listening to the excuses shaytan is telling them to make, do you think Allah is going to spare the firouns of today? Do you think that when He does that, and HE will do it, that He will spare us? What will we say when the angels take our souls?

What will you say to Allah tomorrow? That you didn’t know? Or that your shaykh said it was ok??

http://justanothercoverup.com/?p=356
Do you know who these are for? You and I, who say La ilaha ilallah. I don’t care if you are socalled moderate who has abandoned salah and believes that zina is ok, wal eeyadhubillah, and only has a muslim name and says salams. Or even if you are someone who wears a jilbab, takes islamic classes, and so on, but are otherwise western. They will always be the enemies of la ilaha illah muhammad ar-rasul-Allah (sws).

So what are we waiting for? For the enemies of Allah to start using them empty cages that were built for us!!?? Is it?
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12078.htm

If you don’t know what wala and bara means and how it pertains to our aqeedah please educate yourself with an open mind and heart:
http://islamworld.net/docs/wala.html

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeBnNWWm9pg

Oh ya, and don’t forget there are shayateen of the jinn, and then there exist shayateen of the ins. Both types are staunch liars that can never be trusted.

Really think about this ayah and read it’s tafseer, for Allah’s sake, it’s for your own good.

Eloquent speech of these imam’s who make haram halal and halal haram, is not going to prevent you from not carrying the sin.

“Lo! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wronged themselves, (the angels) will ask: ‘In what you were engaged?’ They will way: ‘We were oppressed in the land.’ (The angels) will say: ‘Was not Allah’s earth spacious that you could have migrated therein?’” (4:97)

Our ummah really has no concept of taqwa, tawakal and sabr. People think sabr is just sitting and waiting around, while you complain on the side, or disobey Allah and do all kinds of things, saying Oh, I’m really trying to have sabr. Really? When and how??

Did we forget that Life is a test full of tests?

Did we forget our purpose of being created?

Do we really love Allah and His Rasul sws? I think not because talk is cheap.

All these crazies who think the kuffaar are going to make the economy better. What is the matter with you? Do you think that even a BIRD provides for itself? Where does all this rizq come from even for the kafir??

We all need to take muhasaba and fix ourselves NOW, not a minute later, not an hour later, not later in the day, and not tomorrow, but right this very moment!

You want your rizq to increase.. see what Allah says:
Surah Nooh: 10 “Saying, ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving;

11 “‘He will send rain to you in abundance;

12 “‘Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water).

Just Open the Quran, for Allah’s sake. All that we need all the answers for all the problems of any time and place are there! Why do we go elsewhere? May Allah forgive us, ameen.

Anwar Al-Awlaki argues that since Muslim-Americans are “presented [with] choosing between the lesser of the two evils” both of which are “more about being American and part of the system than benefiting the ummah” and will inevitably lead to the death of other Muslims, and because “Muslims should seek to avoid any forms of participation in Western democracy,” labeled a patently un-Islamic system, we should not vote in this coming (now past) 2008 Presidential election.

I do not know who Mr. Al-Awlaki is. Quite frankly, I don’t care if he is an ulema. I judge an argument by its content, not who the speaker happens to be. And what is being said is very unfortunate, but, thankfully, a minority opinion amongst most Muslims in this country.

I tell Muslims to vote (or justify their vote) for two reasons

(1) If you want to see a change in the policies that matter to you the most (e.g. Palestine, health care, poverty), then voting ensures that politicians will pay the price at the ballot box if we hold them to their word. The last election, less than 50% of the electorate voted. If every single African American or Hispanic voted in that election (each group roughly 13% of the population), especially in battleground states, they have more sway than there numbers reveal. Likewise, if Muslim Americans vote en masse, especially in battleground areas, we take the first step towards at least having our voices recognized, if not having them heard outright. Furthermore, we show new candidates they have an alternative to the often mainstream views and a parallel base of support. To be sure, voting isn’t the first or last step to political empowerment and our system isn’t perfect, but change has been effected before and it can be brought about again. Religous arguments aside, Mr. Al Awlaki would have you accept American policy as something unalterable and against “Muslim interests”, whatever that may be. (Last time I checked, voting for health care and educational reforms weren’t haraam). Even if that statement were true, the argument for voting for change still stands. If you want to be cynical and accept things the way they are in the United States, go talk to the 106 year old African American woman in Atlanta who cast her ballot for Obama yesterday.

(2) I find it amusing that Mr. Al-Awlaki has the time and luxury to address voting, of all things, as a purely intellectual controversy. In the United States, we (we being many children of well-off professionals who have immigrated here and reside in the suburbs) often forget that there are many people (of all faiths, Muslim included) who would kill (yes, KILL) to be in our position in America, where we have the freedom to voice our opinions and an opportunity to bring about change. I wonder what response Al-Awlaki would get from Muslims living abroad who have to worry about putting food on their plate and having a roof over their head if they were told to insulate themselves from such chances. We have too many pressing problems in this country alone (economy, war, poverty) to seriously consider abstaining from participation as a noble form of dhikr. How can we expect anyone to sit at the same table as us if we aren’t even willing to walk through the door?

That’s my 2 cents. If you still feel voting for either Obama or McCain (or whomever in the future) is morally reprehensible, vote for a third party candidate (Ralph Nader is vehemently anti-war) or write a name in, because, again, one more vote by a Muslim, no matter for whom, shows candidates you care enough not be ignored without consequences. If you feel, as Al-Awlaki does, that “American Muslims who decided to vote have made a fool [sic] out of themselves and the whole world knows it,” then have a nice day.

To Yousef -
It seems you have completely missed the point here. First of all, democracy is a system of shirk where man is put up as a partner with Allah to legislate. This right belongs only to Allah and not the people or any government. The people have the ultimate right to legislate in a democracy and since direct democracy is not possible, representative democracy was formed to delegate the right to legislate to someone on the peoples behalf. All of this is shirk since only Allah has the right to legislate and rule and not anyone else. Allah has legislated with the Quran and Sunnah and that is our constitution. Any other constitution that gives the right to legislate to anyone other then Allah is a constitution of Shirk.
Secondly, assuming we ignore the above Islamic argument based on reality and the Quran and Sunnah and say that voting is ok. Even then there is no benefit in it since the candidates do not care about what the Muslims have to say. They are not even seeking there votes nor want to be associated with Muslims. So it does not matter how much you vote for a particular candidate if he doesn’t care for your opinion from the very onset he will not care after everything is all said and done. So both the Islamic and rational argument is against voting.

Finally I find someone who sees the Bush and Obama comparison. Muslims have lost Tawakal and think Obama (and Bush before) will save them. I wrote the same thing on my blog

Asalamu alaykum

So for all you Obama lovers, supporters, voters, and knowers of the
Unseen (callers to the “lesser of the two evils” - such as Bush,
right?) who do you think Obama offered the postion of the head of the
White House staff? A Muslim?

Not quite. May I present to you:

Rahm Emanuel… A Jew? Yes indeed, and a Zionist one in fact.

His father, the Jerusalem-born Benjamin M. Emanuel, was a member of
the Irgun, a militant Zionist group active during the British Mandate
of Palestine.

During the 1991 Gulf War, Rahm Emanuel was a civilian volunteer in Israel

He and his wife are members of Anshe Shalom, a modern Orthodox
congregation in Chicago. In Israel, Modern Orthodoxy is dominated by
Religious Zionism; however, although not identical, these movements
share many of the same values and many of the same adherents.

For Centrist Orthodoxy, the “People of Israel”, additionally, play a
central role. The resulting difference, relative to other
philosophies, manifests in two ways. Firstly, involvement with
non-orthodox will extend beyond “outreach” - in which many Haredi
organisations engage - to continued institutional relations and
cooperation (despite the “deviationist violations of Torah and
Halakha” of the non-orthodox). Secondly, Centrist Orthodoxy places a
high national, as well as religious, significance on the State of
Israel. Centrist Orthodox institutions and individuals are therefore
Zionist in orientation, and rates of Aliyah (immigration to Israel)
from this community are high relative to others; study in Israeli
Hesder Yeshivot is also common. Thus, although Centrist Orthodoxy and
Religious Zionism are not identical, they share many of the same
values and many of the same adherents.

Modern Orthodoxy draws on the teachings of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook
(1864 – 1935) - both as regards its views on Jewish Peoplehood and as
regards the (related) interaction with the secular world.

“Rav Kook” saw Zionism as a part of a divine scheme finally to result
in the resettlement of the Jewish people in its homeland, bringing
salvation (”Geula”) to the Jewish people, and the entire world.
In Rav Kook’s thought Kodesh and Chol (sacred and profane) play an
importany role: Kodesh is the inner taam (reason / meaning) of
reality, while Chol is that which is detached from Kodesh and is
without any meaning; Judaism, then, is the vehicle “whereby we
sanctify our lives, and attach all the practical, secular elements of
life to spiritual goals which reflect the absolute meaning of
existence - G-d Himself”.
In Israel, the Religious Zionism of the “Dati Leumi” (דתי לאומי,
“National Religious”) dominates Modern Orthodoxy. Here too, the
ideological basis is largely drawn from the teachings of Rav Kook, and
there is therefore much overlap; philosophical differences, as well as
other “non-modern” forms of Religious Zionism, are discussed below.

So lets see what lies for us Muslim in the future…

To Yousef:

You are insulting Imam Anwar with disinformation tactics. If you care about the Reckoning on the Day of Judgment regarding your decision to vote in a kafir system, then maybe you should ask a trusted scholar who doesn’t work for a puppet of America if voting for Democracy is halal or haram. If you don’t care then this reminder will not benefit you and you can do as you please, but we now know your Rand Islam stance. As for the
disinformationalist tactics you are using, we have already figured them out and they won’t work on us. For the brothers and sisters who don’t know, please read the following and pass it on:

Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation
by H. Michael Sweeney

You can read the whole article here:
http://www.ominous-valve.com/blog/25ways.html

Built upon Thirteen Techniques for Truth Suppression by David Martin, the following may be useful to the initiate in the world of dealing with veiled and half-truth, lies, and suppression of truth when serious crimes are studied in public forums. This, sadly, includes every day news media, one of the worst offenders with respect to being a source of disinformation. Where the crime involves a conspiracy, or a conspiracy to cover up the crime, there will invariably be a disinformation campaign launched against those seeking to uncover and expose the truth and/or the conspiracy. There are specific tactics which disinfo artists tend to apply, as revealed here. Also included with this material are seven common traits of the disinfo artist which may also prove useful in identifying players and motives. The more a particular party fits the traits and is guilty of following the rules, the more likely they are a professional disinfo artist with a vested motive. People can be bought, threatened, or blackmailed into providing disinformation, so even “good guys” can be suspect in many cases

The Tactics of Disinformationists

You can read the whole article here:
http://www.the7thfire.com/new_world_order/tactics_of_disinformationists.htm

In the game of chess there exists a term; which describes a maneuver, a stratagem, and a ploy; using different pieces working together, to accomplish a secret purpose. This is called a gambit.

Those who hope to build totalitarian control over freedom loving people, also use many gambits. BUT, the chess player has the advantage of always knowing which pieces are on the other side. Those who would defend liberty have no such luxury. The most treacherous player in the gambit is the false patriot. The false patriot will present himself as a defender of liberty, BUT he will spend most of his time attacking the defenders of liberty, under numerous pretenses. The false patriot will attempt to re-direct attention in every direction EXCEPT at those, who are building tyranny. The false patriot will attempt to re-direct attention to an entire race, a religion, a large group with a few problems, or even against patriots. This is essentially the very old military strategy of the creation a “decoy to draw enemy fire.” The ultimate success of this deception is to cause defenders of liberty to “fire” on non-combatants, or even to “fire” on their own friends, and allies. In addition, the false patriot will neutralize the efforts of the defenders of liberty. The false patriot, like every other player in the gambit, will neutralize the efforts of the defenders of liberty by:
1. Deceiving the defenders of liberty into supporting hoaxes.
2. Dividing the defenders of liberty into fighting each other by creating strife among patriots.
3. Deceiving the defenders of liberty into creating class struggle by promoting ethnic hatred.
4. Attempting to waste the time of patriots, by forcing them to respond to personal attacks, or endless debate about trivia.
5. Using multiple aliases to create the appearance that there is someone, who believes them to be credible.
6. ABOVE ALL: Accusing the most effective patriots of being false opposition.

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatihu

May Allah reward you with the Best in both worlds for your great efford of spreading the TRUE Message of Islam (Tawheed , Tawheed al Hakimiyyah as well)throughout the World when people including some muslims are having misconceptions regarding VOTING(that makes someone fall into SHIRK…

May Allah Grant us Victory and reward you for your great speech and writing thats playing a vital role in bringing this Victory of Islam by the Will of Allah, ‘azza wa jal.

Ameen.

Dear brothers and Sisters:
Please ask Allah to keep us firm on Imaan and lets tighten your sealt belts as the confrontation will be with more fitan.
Those who voted has given their verdict with whom they stand. so they have joined their camp. If they cannot read the clear ayaat of Quran what else can you teach them. For those who are worried about their families who voted dont worry and remember what Allah told Nooh for his son. To us our Islam Allah and Rasool is every thing,whoever comes in our way he is our enemy even if he/she is our father or mother, son or daughter, brother or sister.
9-24. Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight … are dearer to you than Allâh and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause , then wait until Allâh brings about His Decision (torment). And Allâh guides not the people who are Al-Fâsiqûn (the rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).
To brother “Dino” please watch the following link you will find your answer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oWPBjQ-l_s&feature=related

To Omar, your example is simply of that person who kept on listening a story of Romeo and Julliet and in the morning he was asking if Romeo was a girl or a boy. keep your stupid analysis with yourself.
To all the others who wrote in the favor of Sheikh Anwar as per Quran and Sunnah, I congratulate them all on joining the camp of Mujahideen.
sister faiza, wise man, Muhammad amin, Dino, Slave of Allah,Faisal, Muhammad Q, Abu Misbah, Shaheedah(great post), (Brother Zakariya MashaAllah may Allah protect your Imaan, great post you did, you know what people like you are in the field)
TAKBEER. TAKBEER. TAKBEER
Surah Maida will make it more clear where every one stands:
5-52. And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy), they hurry to their friendship, saying: “We fear lest some misfortune of a disaster may befall us.” Perhaps Allâh may bring a victory or a decision according to His Will. Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in themselves.

53. And those who believe will say: “Are these the men (hypocrites) who swore their strongest oaths by Allâh that they were with you (Muslims)?” All that they did has been in vain (because of their hypocrisy), and they have become the losers.

54. O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islâm), Allâh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allâh, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allâh is All­Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All­Knower.

The people who tend to be disagreeing with the Sheikh seem to be speaking from their own desires or intellect, which in every human is flawed, as Muslims our criteria is the Quraan and the Sunnah, and in certain cases ijtihaad of trusted scholars when the need arises.
A brother said in a post how are these Muslims going to react to the dajjal? Its a very good point, may Allah save us.

Omar wrote:
“I don’t think it’s a correct assumption to think there’s a war on ALL Muslims, if this is the case, then we would all be under an attack (as is common in the sense of a war).”
Omar habibi, the prophet saws waged war against the jews who uncovered the awra of a single muslim woman, and who killed the muslim who defended her. that meant war! this isnt any shiekh waging war, its was the PROPHET, the one who taught us the way to pray, who is HABIBULLAH!!!….that was ONE woman, NOT ONE MILLION!!

The last blog from Shaikh cleared my mind and doubts that I had regarding the evidence. Although I knew voting is wrong as my personal intuition but didn’t understand comprehensibly. Alhamdulillah that last blog did the job.

May Allah reward ya Imam you are truly and eye opener for some Muslims living in the west. I wish I could meet you Inshallah one day, if not this world then in hearafter.

Keep your filthy thoughts away from us. You are nuthing but a Rand Muzlim.
You dont have the manners to talk to our beloved Sheikh. May Allah curse you. Join US Army as they need many Rands like you.

Dear Admin- kindly dont ignore this and block such offensive posts from Rands.
To sister Muwahida-Subhan Allah- Great Job, May Allah increase your Imaan and keep you firm.
Brothers and sisters, lets protect our shiekh from such Rands Muzlims, support me and lets kick out such Hypcrites.
Ya Allah- Protect our Sheikh and make us firm on the true religion he is teaching us.

assalamualaikum
where-to-go

Dear where to go….Make istikharah and research on places to make hijrah. I made my hijrah two years ago with my 3 little kids. And alhamdulilah, we are in Yemen. It may not be perfect, but where is? But the Islamic life here is Masya Allah. There is less fitnah, less distractions. At least when you go out you dont see women uncovered, there are no shopping cnetres, no cinemas, no free mixing of genders. My little kids are picking up Arabic and are starting to be practising Muslims early. Alhamdulllah. You can hear the azan clearly for every prayer times and you can hear the imam reading the surah every time when the solat is jahr. You are living among muslim. I made hijrah from my country which is a muslim country but I fail to see Islam in my country, and I want to live and bring up my kids in an Islamic environment, hence we made hijrah. Make the intetion, make the effort and make the hijrah. And be firm in yoru decision because hijrah will not be easy, but Allah will be ther to help you.

With my best wishes and doa.

As-salamu alaikum warahmatullah

JazakAllah khair Imam Anwar, a very important read, alhamdulillah i am starting to understand more about elections and how we as Muslims shouldn’t be voting, it makes a lot of sense. Living in Australia and old enough to vote i now have to think twice about things that happen around me :S

but inshaAllah, im getting there alhamdulillah I have learnt a lot from you Imam, and i am really greatful of this fact.

As-salamau alaikum warahmatullah.

AllahuAkbar !
Jazakallahu khairan Sheikh Anwar.
Thank you for the information of the true religion, we need your comments all the time during the time of fitnah like these days.

Asalam Aleikhum,
First all, for those who are not US citizen they must say Alhamdulilah as we are not cought and fall in this great pit of fitnah of so called democratic election.
2nd, regardless of Obama being our relative, we must serve Islam first, and we can only serve Islam best if we reflect our lives to the early Muslims (Sahabah) and how they stood against their relatives for the sake of Allah Azza Wa Jall.
3rd. This is Obamaism or first black President will fed away after 8years if not 4 years. We went for a long walk in Southern Africa to lebarate our fellow Africans from being oppressed by White Apartheid Regime, we shed our blood, tears and spent our wealth, what did we get in return? My dear Muslims. something very important to learn here, we implemented Democratic system and Nelson Mandela was the first Black President in the history of 400 years of South Africa. Now you know what we got in return, we have been ill treated brutality by our fellow South Africans and called us names, the rise of Xenophobic attacks and many African flew back to their neighbouring African countries,few to mention South Africa became the first country in Africa to establish same sex marriage, it shocked Africa and this is typical against the ethics of African culture, the raise of poverty in South Africa and deceases such as HIV/AIDS - this is the real price and award of Democracy.
Lastly for us as a Muslims, as much as we seek the Mercy of our Lord, Allah Azza Wa Jal, “The Battle of Hearts and Minds” should continue.
Shukran brother Anwar for the words of inspiration.

[post edited due to lenght. Please post link to article]

AsSalaam Alaikum,

May Allah reward the sheikh with Jannatul Firdous. Ya Sheikh, preservere in the face of opposition! I can feel your message driving home inshaAllah

Asalamu alaikum,
How quickly the sheep sheds its skin to reveal the wolf. Obama immediately takes on a Zionist “Jew” -
foxnews: “Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel has been offered the job of chief of staff to President-elect Barack Obama, Democratic officials say.” SO now we have at the head of a leading super power, a Chritian-Zionist”Jewish” leadership. Alhamdulillah, we believe in Qadr.. so this is one of the signs. But which side of the fence will you be on? Once gain it falls down to.. with which people will you be raised up with? Because you will be raised with those whom you love.. Just think about it. May Allah guide us on the right path, and guide our parents (and if the parents arent Muslim, may He guide them to Islam) So, take advise from Sh Anwar, make hijra, because the two camps are definitly being divided. Make Istikhara about making hijra (not wether to take it or not) but which country to go to.. read ahadith about the end of times, maybe Sh Anwar can put together something for us? Like you did Sh about 25 promises made to believers.

JzkAllah
Your Brother in Islam
Abdul Malik

Salam allykum Wa Rahmat Allah Wa Baraktahu,

JazakaAllahu khair

assalaamu alaykum dear brothers and sisters

this is indeed a great fitnah for the muslims with scholars giving baseless fatawa in order to serve the neo-crusade goals and not to mention to evil and corrupted desires of these so-called scholars. don’t you remember how our beloved amir ul mu’mineen ‘Umar - Abu Hafs(the father of the lion) treated the kuffar. not to say that we are in the same situation as the muslims were then, but don’t you have any ‘izza?
Are you not proud of what Allah has blessed us with. Subhanallah! how can we exchange light for darkness.

Don’t you love Allah?
Don’t you love the deen?
Are you willing to sacrifice the deen for a kaafir like Obama?

Dear brothers and sisters realise that Allah is rich and we are poor. if you really do love Allah then repent before Allah sends the smoke or the Dajjaal or the sun rising from the west.

May Allah guide us all in this time of fitnah and keep us steadfast on truth.

ALHAMDULILAH ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO ALLAH(SWT)

to omar the moderate murtad

your quote:
“In the Qur’aan, God says”

also could you explain the word extremism ,and where did you find this word , i mean in which surah or hadith?

you may ask one of your crusaders friends to help you

could you please give us daleel the the name from the Qur’an or ahadith for using this nonsense world of “GOD”

Obama would have never been elected,let alone allowed to stand for office had he been Muslim.

Don’t you all remember how many times he had to declare and assure the public that he was NOT Muslim, NOT Muslim, NOT Muslim.

The Americans will never accept, allow a Muslim to ever govern them.

So why should Muslims participate in electing a Non-Muslim.

Obama’s Paternal side of the family in Kenya are Muslim. Can you imagine if over the next few months, Obama declares that he has reverted to Islam. I wonder if they’d ship him off to Gtmo.

Dear Momineen Brothers and sisters:
Let me close this discussion with the following Ayaat of Quran. InshaAllah you will feel Tranquility in your hearts once you read them. Our Helper is Allah Alone and in Allah alone we put our trust. Rasool Allah Sallalaho alaihey wassallam said,Say salam to Jahiloon. so lets stop answering the Jahiloon as anyone who does not read and understand Quran and Hadith as Sahaba did is a Jahil. Lets not answer them anymore.
What is more beautiful that Quran which has openly shown us all the signs of Munafiqeen.
2-6.Verily, those who disbelieve, it is the same to them whether you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) warn them or do not warn them, they will not believe.

7. Allâh has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearings, (i.e. they are closed from accepting Allâh’s Guidance), and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be a great torment.

8. And of mankind, there are some (hypocrites) who say: “We believe in Allâh and the Last Day” while in fact they believe not.

9. They (think to) deceive Allâh and those who believe, while they only deceive themselves, and perceive (it) not!

10. In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allâh has increased their disease. A painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies.

11. And when it is said to them: “Make not mischief on the earth,” they say: “We are only peacemakers.”

12. Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not.

13. And when it is said to them (hypocrites): “Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad Peace be upon him , Al-Ansâr and Al-Muhajirûn) have believed,” they say: “Shall we believe as the fools have believed?” Verily, they are the fools, but they know not.
17. Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindled a fire; then, when it lighted all around him, Allâh took away their light and left them in darkness. (So) they could not see.

18. They are deaf, dumb, and blind, so they return not (to the Right Path).
9-. They have purchased with the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh a little gain, and they hindered men from His Way; evil indeed is that which they used to do.
23. O you who believe! Take not for Auliyâ’ (supporters and helpers) your fathers and your brothers if they prefer disbelief to Belief. And whoever of you does so, then he is one of the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.).
55. So let not their wealth or their children amaze you (O Muhammad ); in reality Allâh’s Plan is to punish them with these things in the life of the this world, and that their souls shall depart (die) while they are disbelievers.

56. They swear by Allâh that they are truly of you while they are not of you, but they are a people (hypocrites) who are afraid (that you may kill them).
64. The hypocrites fear lest a Sûrah (chapter of the Qur’ân) should be revealed about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say: “(Go ahead and) mock! But certainly Allâh will bring to light all that you fear.”

65. If you ask them (about this), they declare: “We were only talking idly and joking.” Say: “Was it at Allâh (ÚÒ æ Ìá), and His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His Messenger () that you were mocking?”

66. Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimûn (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.).
67. The hypocrites, men and women, are from one another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief and polytheism of all kinds and all that Islâm has forbidden), and forbid (people) from Al-Ma’rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm orders one to do), and they close their hands [from giving (spending in Allâh's Cause) alms, etc.]. They have forgotten Allâh, so He has forgotten them. Verily, the hypocrites are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).

68. Allâh has promised the hypocrites; men and women, and the disbelievers, the Fire of Hell, therein shall they abide. It will suffice them. Allâh has cursed them and for them is the lasting torment.

58-22. You (O Muhammad ) will not find any people who believe in Allâh and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad ), even though they were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Rûh (proofs, light and true guidance) from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allâh is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allâh. Verily, it is the Party of Allâh that will be the successful.

I pray to Allah Subhan wa Tala to give us life of a Shaheed and take our souls when we are fighting with Kuffar. and keep us together in Jannat with our beloved Sheikh and Sahaba and Rasool Allah Sallallaho alaihey wassllam.
Takbeeer. Allah Hu Akbar
Ya Muqallibul Qaloob Sabbat qaloobuna ala deenik. (Amin)

slms, can I commend Brother Al-Awlaki for his thought provoking articles. Mashallah. Living in the west as Muslims we are kidding ourselves to be honest. It is nothing but the sense of financial security (for a lot of us) that is keeping us here. We aren’t even trying to retain our Islamic identity by being here (for those who have the intention to stay here permanently). in addition to the other issues, how many of us try to incorporate the arabic language in our daily lives with our community. Instead we rely upon the very few courses that are open to us. Shouldn’t we be pooling our resources abroad and assisting our brethren.

As for voting we are in an illusion if you think momentarily that the western government care for us. Finally, for those that petition, demonstrate e.t.c. against the unjust war by working here we are contributing financially to the minstry of defence, isn’t this last reason enough for us to think (enough is enough lets get out of here!!!!!!!!)

I ask you to make dua to make it possible for those who are dying to get out of the west to make it possible. Ameen

Masalama

I would also Like to point out that Obama just named his chief of staff who is Rahm Emanuel, a son of a member of the Irgun. Is this what we voted for? This is the lesser evil?

MashaAllah Akhi. Its about time we see some realaity in words and response. I am fortunate to have an Imam here in America thats puts it down. And Alhamdulilah I’m glad you came back like that.

Bravo Sheikh for speaking truth

Asalaamu alaikum….

To all the “Muslim” Idiots that voted for their leader…Rahm Emanuel is now Obama’s cheif-of-staff…A kaafir that helped rigorously during clinton’s reign by Supplying tactics to Israel to defeat the muslims in palestine, also he volunteered for the israeli army in the first gulf war…..

Just shows where your loyalty ad allegance goes to, doesn’t it?

As we know, what manifests in the heart, shows by actions..and if you love these kuffaar leaders and support them with your walaa, that is a form of love…

Allaah’s Messenger (saw) said “You will be (ressurected) with those who you love” [Buhari's adab al mufrad]

{The hypocrites, men and women, are one from another; they enjoin (on the people) Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, shirk and all kinds that are forbbidden in Islaam), and forbid (people0 from Al-Ma’ruf (i.e. Tawheed, al walaa wal baraa and evenrtyhing halal), and they close their hands. They have forgotten Allaah, so He has forgotten them. verily, the hypocrites are of the Fasiqun (disobedient to Allaah). }-[QUr'an 9:67]

As Salamu Alaikum,
Once I read an article in I believe a series of articles charting the dire times of the people of Palestine. I found the article on Al Jazeera english. Sadly it told of an out of work father in Palestine with 2 twin girls around the age of 7. It followed him around as he was tring to find sweets and presents for his girls because it was their birthday but the bakeries were closed up and who had money in the first place to buy presents anyway. he was so concerned about letting his daughters down on their birthdays, Ya Haram. while Al Aqsa is being distroyed by the jews he is wandering around town trying to find treats to celebrate a ritual form shaitan! And certainly Allah will withhold the victories of the believers until we are ready to accept HIS (Allah) law And live by it fully. And me an amercan Muslim, A convert, Insha’Allah my children will never celebrate a birthday, will never eat candy from trick-or-treating but they will know the Eid and they will know that Insha’Allah Palestine is theirs if they want it for the sake of Allah not for the sake of simply laying claim to land and voting for figure if they are still in this country by voting age, is futile,…in the end.

Assalamu Alaykom,

Jazaka Allahu khayron ya Imam. Masha’Allah you’re a very effective teacher. I don’t know how anyone could have missed Obama’s full support for Isreal. That in itself should have been evidence enough.

Allah yehdena

For all of those opposed to what has been said by our teacher Awlaki, i urge you to recall his lecture “The story of the bull”. In this you will remember that last bull who was being eaten by the wolf. It is clear that those voters are in fact like that bull. So, once they have decided to live with the disbelievers (celebrating their festivals - be they election festivals or otherwise), vote with them, beg them for mercy; once they have been rejected and seen the end result of their foolishness; once the disbelievers have deluded their people enough to make open war on Islam (without the slogans of terror or “islamist”); it is then that they will say “We were eaten the day we gave up our brother, white cow”. Do you not believe that staying amongst the disbelievers and voting with them and loving them will not ensure the loss of whatever Islam you have left? Take the new fir’awn (Barak Obama) as evidence of what happens when they allow their family to reside in the centre of kufr. I warn you - and so too does history - that it may be your son who retains a middle name like Hussain, yet also leads the nation which has decalred war against Allah. I make known now - and i urge others to bare witness - that anybody who votes with the disbelievers in their elections; anybody who supports them, loves them, aids them, gives them ligitimacy to rule the land of kufr; to implement laws other than that of Allah’s… Bare witnesss, and Allah is sufficiant as A Witness, that i am not from them, and they are not from me - Oh Allah, I bare witness that Your law is the only law to be implemented. I bare witness that Your protection is greater than that of Your creation. I bare witness that it is You who drowned the fir’awn - and everything is Easy for You. Glory be to You, oh Allah, Who only says “be, and it is!”

In addition to what awlaki said about prophet Yusuf, it should also be understood and noted that during prophet Yusuf’s time, the believers had a different way of life and system governing their affairs. For example, those who stole during Yusuf’s time were punished by going to jail whereas in Islam , you are ordered to cut the hand of the thief. So we cant use the actions of previous prophets as evidence to justify or not justify an action. This is not to say that we can’t learn or replicate their good actions but we shouldnt take them as definite evidence for our own shariah. If prophet Yusuf was alive today, even he would be required to follow Mohammad.

Beautifully Said.
May Allah Reward Sheikh Anwar for his efforts.

Living in the west it’s tough to be a righeous muslim. may allah guide us and strengten our imaan.

I agree with everything the sheikh said in his 3 blogs…alot of the masjids in this country are corrupted and lack the islamic knowledge to teach the people. being a young adult, i’m trying to educate my self and those around. al-hamduillah with the help of the sheikhs’ lectures and the brothers allah has guided me to be around, i’m seeing all the wrongs that are going on in these masjids. after maghrib and Esha salaat, brothers are getting up encouraging people to vote…make yourself be heard…but they lack the understanding. 2 jumah’s ago, the people were ready to kill the khateeb, because he said on what basis the muslim should vote…hinting not to vote…May allah guide the ullamah and make us victory, but it wont happen in the west. the muslims here are weak, the iman they have is suffient for them. they’re loving the duniya… may all forgive them and guide them. after listening to the hereafter series…how can anyone prefer this world? i want to meet Umar, Abu Bakr, Prophet(phuh) etc. may all grant us jannah …
allah says they want duniya he’ll give them.
i want akhira, may all give me it and all the believing people…all my brothers and sister in iraq, afghanistan, pakistan, sudan, palastine, etc…ameen.

please brothers unite the brother hood…stop the violence, pray, give zakaat and do righeous deads and prepare for your meeting with the Real and supreme president, the owner, the creator, the most merciful..allah…

Dear Imam Anwar Al Awlaki,

Can you please explain the Fiqh for dealing with those whom have made war against the Muslims? As well what happens if those whom have been at war with Muslims decide that they want to make amends when they see that there actions are just making them loosers on the earth?

How do muslims see if thier intentions are honest and how do muslims deal with these situations?

Thanks,

Heidi

well said imam Anwar, you have said it in the previous lecture “the dust will never settle down,” surely Allah will set aside those who are on the enemy’s camp from the believers. Imam, i recommend that you watch Obama’s victory speech (chicago) on youtube, there you shall uncover their motives. May Allah bless you and preserve you and all of the Ulema, amin. asalaam alaykum wr wb.

Bismillah A Rahman A Rahiem,

May Allah SWT guide all of the Muslims back to the Haqq, May he help us strive to understand why he wants us to live by Shariah, May he help us to implement Shariah, May he help us to live in every way that our beloved sweet Prophet Muhammed Salla lahu a lai he wa salam did, May he open our eyes to what sacrificing in his name is all about, May he help us to sacrifice what we desire for him, May he replace those Muslims who have strayed with a better group of Muslims,May he destroy those who are attacking this Deen and Ummah, may he help Muslims understand what hijra for his sake really means, May he help us to abandon all of those things that are haram that are connected to our false desires, May he help us all to be proud to be his slaves, May he strengthen the Iman in this Ummah…Allahumma Ameen, Allahumma Ameen, Allahumma Ameen.

Do we really know what propaganda is
and how it has the capability of brainwashing us so that we do not even think for ourselves?

“They tend to put out the light of Allah with their mouths. But Allah will bring his light to perfection even though the disbelievers hate it.” (61:8)

Oppressed people opress.

They also begin oppressing their own people because of all of the opression that they have internalized, this is why some Muslims are so ashamed to be Muslims and try to fit in with the masses, and condem the other Muslims who are striving in Allah’s cause with their wealth and lives.

“O you who believe! Let not one group scoff another group, it may be that the latter are better then the former. Nor let some women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the former. Nor defame one another. Nor insult on another by nicknames. How bad is it to insult one’s brother after having faith (to call a Muslim believer a sinner or wicked) And whosoever does not repent then such indeed are the wrongdoers.” (49:11)

Are you proud to be Muslim?

Are you really proud or do you have even one ounce of shame when it comes to the deeds of serving Allah. Why don’t you wear hijab,Why don’t you grow a beard, Why don’t you pray, Why do you mix with the opposite sex? Why can’t you turn off your televisions? Why are you ashamed of the mujahideen? Why do you not think jihad is relevant in this day and age?

Have you been humiliated because of your ibadah?

Why would Allah reward us if we have not suffered one ounce in following his laws?

We do not make people Muslim, Allah does that.

We have been instructed to follow the example of our beloved Prophet, and that is our Dawah…
What we eat,
How we dress,
How we pray,
How we interact,
What we do not involve ourselves with…

Those people whom Allah has given an open mind will come to Islam because they see us as different from the mainstream society not the same, and because we definately not ashamed of what we have been called upon by our Lord to do.

The unjust slaughter of Muslims will continue under any Kufr president who is elected, however Obama will help to recruit more african american soldiers to this Kufr army because people of his race will not see any mistakes in his leadership because he is black and he is not george w bush…It will make more sense to them that their black president is calling upon them to serve their country…and this is what the kufr army needs right now is more soldiers.

Don’t be fooled by kufr propaganda my fellow slaves of Allah.

“For every news there is a reality and you shall come to know” (6:68)

MAKE HIJRA FROM YOUR TELEVISIONS!

Sk. Anwar, May Allah keep you humble amongst all of the compliments.

salam alaikum 3la manittab3 al huda,

read the book patience and gratitude and really study it!http://www.kalamullah.com/Books/Patience_and_Gratitude.pdf

Muhammad ibn sireen: ~ that this knowledge is deen, so look to who you take it from!

You know what would be the fate of you voters, if Umar (ra) was alive!? I bet if he was alive today, so many people would call him extremist. AstaghfirAllah,

You guys needs to read all the ayaat about the munafiqeen in surah baqara and munafiqeen, just to name two places.

Do yourself a favor, go in sujood and ask Allah:
Oh Allah, you KNOW and I do not know, guide me, open my heart and mind, and do not make me deaf, dumb, and blind.

Say this with ikhlaas.

“The most honourable of you in the sight of Allah is the one who has At-Taqwa.” [49:13 Interpretation of Meaning]

“The one who judges without referring to the Quran is a taghut.” Sheikh ul-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah: Majmo’ al-Fataawaa, Part 28, 201.

“(A taghut is) every one who exceeds exceeded their limits (whether they are) worshipped, followed or obeyed. So, the taghut of any people is the one, or the thing, who or what they make as a judge besides Allah and His Prophet, or who or which they worship, ignoring Allah, or who or which they follow without taking any consideration of Allah, or who or which they obey in a matter where they do not know whether it is in obedience to Allah”. Ibn al-Qayyim: E’lam Al- Muwaaqi’een, Part 1, 50.

obama’s vice president is a self proclaimed zionist, go to you tube and check it out….obama is a zionist as far as im concerned and he made that clear before the elections. muslims dont need fatwa either way on that one.

Obama’s first pick: Israeli Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1034855.html

This is what you voted for!

Lets not forget that Munafiqoons are lowest level in the hell. so my brotehrs and siters its not hard to recogonize the RAND MUSLIMS as well as RAND islamic TV Channels. so be aware…

As-Salam-Ylakum Wa-Rahmatullah, Jamiah.
Forgive me if I sound blunt, but such defeatist comments and statements, like that of our brother Ommar, and those of his like should just be ignored.
They never support their claims with any textual evidence from Quran and Sunnah, and when they attempt to it is always taken out of context.
I advise my sincere Brothers and Sisters to ponder the verses of Allah (swt) in his Glorious Words, specifically these Surah’s: Al-Imran, Al-Ahzab, Al-Mujadilah, An-Nisa.
PONDER DEEPLY THESE AYAT, especially those verses referring to the Munafiqeen and the struggle between Haqq (truth) and Batil (falsehood).
May Allah Azza-wajal guide us all closer to the truth. AMEEN!!!
Jazaka-lau-khairan Ya Shaykh, my Allah (swt) make you steadfast.

PLEASE SHAYKH ANWAR, WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF A TALK OR SOME ADVICE REGARDING THE MATTERS EXPRESSED IN THIS VIDEO.
MYSELF, BROTHER BILAL, AND A FEW OTHER BROTHERS WORKED ON IT TOGETHER BUT TO BE HONEST THE MATTER NEEDS FURTHER CLARIFICATION (QURAN AND SUNNAH), FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FOOLED BY THE MAGICIANS OF THE MODERN DAY PHARAOHS, AND TO THOSE WHO HAVE A DECEASE OF HYPOCRISY IN THEIR HEARTS, AND ALSO FOR THE SINCERE SEEKER AFTER TRUTH!!!
JAZAKA-LAU-KHAIRAN SHAYKH,
I EAGERLY AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE.

Dear Brother Al Khurasani,

I agree, Admin should baan hillbilly yankee ‘rand’ Muslims.

Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or slay thee, or get thee out (of thy home). They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; but the best of planners is Allah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War) 8:30

With duas

Your brother

Muslims now a days have a slave mentality, some are slave and know it and some don’t. Mr Macain would kill 1000 Muslims and Mr Barack Obama would kill 10. Killing ONE Muslim is enough for me. So in actuality you have voted and supported an infidel who killed a Muslim and they will. Just like the slave Muslims who supported the kafirs in the destruction of the Khalifah. Just like the Muslims who supported the British in the division of the Arabian peninsula. Just live the Muslims who supported the kafirs in over throwing the Indian Mughal. It has always been Muslims who supported the kafirs in trying to destroy the Muslims. The biggest problem you Islam is not the kafir but the hypocrites. The real reason we are humiliated is because majority of us don’t follow the Quran and Sunnah we don’t even look like Muslims. Till we don’t come back to Islam and submit are will to Allah we will be the losers. Brother Anwar we are with you inshAllah.
